For me, the VCA clover looks like a clover... Never once have I associated it to a Cross... When I see a girl wearing even the single motif clover I *Sigh* and say she has on VCA

To elaborate - I am non-religious and wouldn't wear a cross, but I'd wear the VCA, because to me it doesn't look TOO much like a cross.
Well, to me it just looks like a clover. But I can *somewhat* see what he may be thinking...the Irish Clover or Shamrock was used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. In a VERY abstract sense, it has the elements of a "cross." But no, I wouldn't have ever thought it looked like a cross at first glance.
(confession: when I was a teen, I used to think, when I saw the VCA clover, that it was LV - *snort*)

Because of the way it hangs, it reminds me of a greek cross. I would get more of a "clover" vibe if it tilted 45 degrees.
^bumping this thread.
My DH thought the same thing too when I was looking to purchase an Alhambra necklace/bracelet or even the earrings. To me, it looked like a clover. But to him it looked like a cross..like a Red Cross symbol. Plus he couldn't understand why the material in the motifs costs so much. So we settled for something else that was pave.
Funny I thought only my DH thought it looked like a cross. Seems like a lot of men feel the same way about these motifs.

I never thought that it looks like a cross, it looks like a clover to me even before I knew about VCA...sometimes people just interpret things a little differently.
I never thought it looked like a cross and after reading here.... Errrr.... I still don't think it looks like a cross. Saw a girl wearing one the other day and it looked gorgeous!!
As the name suggests, the motifs of the VCA Alhambra line are influenced by the architectural patterns in the Alhambra palace, an example of Islamic architecture located in Spain. If the design is associated with any religion, it would be Islam as it derives from the Alhambra (Islamic) palace.
